Description
The Remington 700 Magpul Enhanced, 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ Barrel Flat Dark Earth Magpul Hunter Stock 10rd Detachable Mag is a modernized bolt-action rifle. It pairs the legendary Remington 700 action with a purpose-built Magpul Hunter stock and a 20-inch barrel chambered in the highly effective 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. This setup is designed for precision, modularity, and reliability right from the factory, offering a significant upgrade over a traditional wood or synthetic stock rifle without custom gunsmithing. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various match and hunting loads through this configuration, and it consistently delivers the performance you’d expect from a modern precision platform.

Here’s the thing—this rifle is essentially drop-in ready. The action and barrel are bedded into the Magpul stock from the factory, which is a huge step up in stability and consistency over a standard Remington 700 in its flimsy factory stock. The 20-inch barrel length is a sweet spot for the 6.5 Creedmoor; it keeps the rifle maneuverable in a blind or while stalking, yet still provides plenty of velocity for ethical hunting shots out past 500 yards. At a price of $998.36, you’re getting a complete, modern precision rifle system that would cost several hundred dollars more to build piecemeal. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your FFL transfer.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a serious, no-excuse platform without the custom shop price tag. It’s ideal for the precision-minded hunter pursuing whitetail, mule deer, or antelope where longer shots are common. It’s also a fantastic entry point for new long-range shooters or competitors in practical precision matches who value a reliable, repeatable, and easily customizable foundation. If you’ve been eyeing a chassis rifle but balked at the cost, this factory offering bridges that gap perfectly.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The Magpul stock transforms the handling and ergonomics completely. The adjustable comb and LOP mean it fits a wide range of shooters out of the box. The 6.5 Creedmoor is mild on recoil and heavy on performance. The M-LOK system lets you add bipods, lights, or rail sections without a gunsmith. The 10-round detachable mag is a huge practical upgrade over an internal blind magazine.
Cons: At around 8.5 pounds bare, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle—add optics and a bipod, and you’re over 10 lbs. The 20-inch barrel sacrifices a bit of muzzle velocity compared to a 24 or 26-inch tube, though for most hunting applications, the difference is negligible. You’re committed to Magpul’s magazine system, but thankfully, PMAG 5 AC magazines are affordable and reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What optics rail does it use?
A: It comes from the factory with a drilled and tapped receiver ready for a standard Remington 700 short-action scope base. You’ll need to purchase and install a base (like those from Warne, Leupold, or Nightforce) and rings to mount your optic.
Q: Are other magazines compatible?
A: The stock is designed specifically for Magpul’s PMAG 5 AC magazines for the Remington 700 short action. Other AICS-pattern magazines may require fitting or an aftermarket bottom metal kit and are not guaranteed to function without modification.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device?
A: This specific model typically features a non-threaded, sporter-profile barrel crown. If you require a threaded muzzle for a suppressor or brake, you would need to have a gunsmith thread the existing barrel or consider a different model variant.
If you’re looking for a modern, capable rifle that handles both the range and the field with equal confidence, this Remington 700 Magpul Enhanced configuration is a compelling choice. Check availability at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
